Our commitment to quality education is reflected in our alignment with the ACARA curriculum and our provision of professional development in various APST Teaching Standards. To ensure a safe environment, all programs, activities and instructor roles undergo extensive risk assessments conducted by the Adelaide Takemusu Aikido Club Inc.
